In this episode of Mondays at Mirai, Ryan, wearing a rare button-up shirt, indulges in some hefty and significant repots including a rock planted pine and the iconic Rocky Mountain Juniper No. 1 with expansive deadwood cascading out of a Ron Lang container. With kamas and chopsticks in hand, Ryan shares some of his favorite and least favorite moments of bonsai repotting season.
While finely tucking in the sphagnum moss and soil substrate mixture into a smooth contour on a rock planting, Ryan confides in the camera that even sometimes he gets nervous coming into work. With hundreds of massive repots in process and the season coming to an end, he feels both the pressure and the manic excitement of rapid change that is brought on by the multitude of repottings. Visiting the greenhouse to help this week is a Mirai close friend Adam Johnson, who humbly tries to avoid the camera. Ryan shares a couple of tips to bring ease to your repotting season such as alternating between challenging and more routine repots to keep your spirits up. Looking back at all the work that has been accomplished this year so far, there is satisfaction in knowing incredible bonsai work can be achieved with patience and carefully executed technique.
